Program overview

What Colorado Mesa University says about their program:

The Environmental Science and Technology program educates students in the science, protection, and restoration of our natural resources—air, water, land, and ecosystems—as well as the sustainable design of the built environment. Environmental problems are interdisciplinary in nature. Our students develop a foundation in biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, statistics, communication skills, and apply this knowledge in the study and solution of environmental problems. We balance theory with hands-on practice, and include considerable work outdoors in our spectacular local environment.
